Isaac Newton was twiddling his thumbs under a tree; Steve Jobs was taking a stroll in an orchard. Then they had one of those unforgettable, connect-the-dots moments, when everything suddenly, somehow clicked. Yes, we're talking Aha! Moments. All inventions, innovations, and breakthroughs started with one Aha! Moment. "EUREKA!" "AHA!" We use triumphant terminology to describe what has for centuries been believed to be an essentially inexplicable,...

When we want something in life and we engage in the process of manifesting it, we often encounter obstacles. “It is when we‘re most determined to bring change into our lives,” Paolo Coelho wrote, “that life sets us a challenge to test our courage & willingness to change.” When this happens, we start getting creative about the obstacle. We look for ways to remove it. But...

Guess what?! I am going to Brazil.. And Argentina! And more... For the next 8 weeks I will become a #digitalnomad! I will travel, work, learn new skills and have fun. This quick video is about what I will be doing for 2 out of those 8 weeks. The rest, I will unravel in due course. Are you interested in #trance #hypnosis #coaching, and #mentoring? Join the...

When you say “yes” to life, life says “yes” to you. Again, and again... “Yes” may sound like a pledge to pleasure and a life of leisure (which is not necessarily a bad idea), but is not what I mean to impart with “yes” in this case. With “Yes,” in this case I refer to Balance. When you’re too much of A, and not enough of...

In November last year, I gave a Personal Development talk to 60 self-awareness enthusiasts. While I spoke for one and a half hours, I could see some eyes completely absorbed in what I was telling, just as I could see some eyes in the crowd getting lost. As I looked back into those eyes, an insight occurred to me. Sharing knowledge is nice. It can be...

Could it be that the reason why we are collectively burning out is not the result of physical, mental and spiritual exhaustion, but the result of us living a linear life in an exponentially changing world? What if our disengagement at work is not a byproduct of overwork, but a symptom of the tug of war between our fear of missing out and our ingrained need...

Bite too much, or too little = Fixation. Digest it and spit it out as art= Sublimation. It takes COURAGE to express yourself. Even creating these videos and putting them out there takes courage - I'll admit. But what if our psyche requires this COMMITMENT from us to support our healing and growth? If we can't even harness the courage to express, if we can’t even...

Changing our behaviour is a challenge with few equals. 80% of all New Year's resolutions fail by February. Only 2 out of 10 change initiatives succeed. Long-term, sustained change (not short-run bursts that sputter out before real shift happens) is one of the hardest things any of us will ever try to accomplish. Whether the change involves diet, exercise, habits, personal development or anything else, changing behaviour...
